> something that I've always done, when doing any upgrade, is to remove the couple of extra programs that I've installed, You are fortunate that you can remember what extra packages you have installed. Or you have very good documentation of what you've done. Personally, I'd forgotten that I didn't i...

> Any non-repo software should be removed and reinstalled from it's source post upgrade Oh, OK, I think. What I've actually done is the upgrade using mintupgrade and after that re-installed google chrome and skypeforlinux using the deb packages from their respective websites. I didn't remove them fi...

LMDE2 Cinnamon 64bit to LMDE3 Cinnamon 64bit If you have installed packages that originated outside of the standard respositories, such as Google Chrome and Skype4Linux, be aware that they will be deleted if you follow the instructions in the tutorial for "Delete Foreign Packages'. The tutorial inst...

LMDE2 Cinnamon 64 bit upgrade to LMDE3 Cinnamon 64bit When I have a look at the 'Delete Foreign Packages' step in the tutorial, I have an issue. I select all as the tutorial says, but when I try to actually delete, the process says that the 'mountall' package is an essential part of the system and c...

LMDE2 Cinnamon 64bit using Mintupgrade to go to LMDE3 Cinnamon I am stepping through the 'How to upgrade to LMDE3' tutorial on an old laptop I don't use a lot . Everything went smoothly till I got to the "Downgrade Foreign Packages" step. There were 3 packages listed, so I selected all 3 and clicked...

What you're suggesting is a bit above my pay grade. Thanks for the thought, anyway.

Ron

OK, from the lack of response, it seems this one is not worth pursuing. So, I'll abandon it.

Ron

I'm sure that LMDE already has a 'session manager'. It did not however, as installed, have the applet called 'Session Manager' which when invoked offers a list of options including Shut Down, which if you select it shuts the PC down with no gnome-keyring-daemon problem.

Ron

LMDE Cinnamon 64bit I've recently had a problem that Shutdown selected by using the Quit button on the Menu is held up by gnome-keyring-daemon not responding. Waiting for then selecting the Shut Down Anyway button means Shutdown takes a minute or more longer than it used to. The workaround I found i...

After more research in the LM forums, I've found a solution that seems to be working for me (so far at least). Install the Session Manager applet and use that instead of the Menu 'Quit' button to shut down. Go to System Settings-Preferences-Applets then select 'Available applets (online)' then find ...

I've investigated a bit : it appears gnome-keyring was installed on my system as part of the latest SkypeforLinux update which I installed a couple of days ago. If I try to remove gnome-keyring, SkypeforLinux will be removed as well.. The good news is that since the latest update, I don't need to si...

Thanks for the idea, sadly it didn't work ...

I had to sudo shutdown 0

I agree that on the next bootup, I was able to shutdown cleanly, no gnome-keyring-daemon issue.

BUT on the bootup after that, shutdown had its gnome-keyring-daemon issue again.

Ron

LMDE Cinnamon 64bit (installed about 1 year ago ; all updates applied) A couple of days ago, shutdown stopped as gnome-keyring-daemon was not responding. I've been running for about a year and had not seen this before. Now happens on every shutdown. The 'shutdown anyway' option works, but that means...

The Skype version I have installed was downloaded direct from the Skype site, and is the current version. The problem is, every time my PC (and Skype) starts, I get a START_UP_LOAD_ERROR and have to sign out of Skype, then sign in again. It appears that some people on Ubuntu have the exact same prob...

I did that a while back. What you get now is not Skype for Linux Beta, but instead Skype for Linux. I didn't have the issue with Skype for Linux Beta.

Ron

As best I can find Jessie is 8.0 (or higher)
| update so as best I can see the assertion that Skype is not supported on LMDE2 is incorrect

Skype version 8.11.0.4
Calling version 2017.23.01.38

Ron

LMDE 2 Cinnamon 64bit I posted in the Microsoft Community on a STARTUP_LOAD_ERROR I am having with the current version of Skype. The response is It looks like you're using a Skype version we don't fully support yet. The only supported versions are listed below: 64-bit Ubuntu 14.04+ 64-bit Debian 8.0...

Skype for Linux download, described as 4.5 but it's 4.3 (at least the DEB file is), is available at https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4985 ... linux.html

I installed it on the LMDE2 laptop I'm setting up and it works, at least for now

Ron

I don't like the Beta and 4.3 is still running fine (I know Skype said it wouldn't after 1 July) on my LMDE2 desktop. Setting up a laptop, and I'd like to put 4.3 on it, not the Beta. Any ideas for where to get a 4.3 DEB file ? 64bit preferred.

Ron

Super, many thanks

Ron
